Exploring Arkansas Ancestry with Arkansas Gazette Obituaries

The Arkansas Gazette Obituaries can help you discover the relatives you never knew you had.

Obituaries in the past were once printed in regional and state papers and searching through newspapers often took time and effort. This online data source now spares you all this, as it only takes a few seconds to produce what you need.

Some of the top reasons to explore The Arkansas Gazette Obituaries:

  • You get access to nearly 150 years of local history.

How to Search Arkansas Obituaries

Searching the obituaries is straightforward, whether you're just beginning to explore your roots or you're adding details to a family tree you already have:

Simply enter the last name of that relative and click on the “Search” button to begin.

For more detailed searches, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Enter the first, middle, and last names to get more precise results.
  • Step 2: Include a keyword, like a school or town, to narrow down your results.
  • Step 3: Exclude certain keywords to filter out unrelated entries.
  • Step 4: Adding a range of years can be useful since many people have the same name.
  • Step 5: Change how the results are sorted—by best matches, newest, or oldest.

Here are some strategies to help you find the right information:

  • Begin with recent relatives, then work your way back to the older ones.
  • Try searching using initials, as older obituaries often used them instead of full names.
  • If you're looking for information about a female relative, try searching under their married name.
  • Check out for common misspellings, as names weren't always spelled correctly in older records.
